About this property
EL YUNQUE NATIONAL RAINFOREST EXCLUSIVE BUNGALOW ROOF TERRACE APARTMENT!!!
Our property is located 300 meters (+/- 1000 feet) above sea level secluded at the edge of the El Yunque National Forest, one of the most important rainforest ecosystem in the national park inventory. The flora and the fauna are particular to the damp environment, in particular the coqui, a very small frog and the different types of lizards, exhuberant firns and exotic heliconias and bambues populate the landscape around us.
The apartment is located in the bungalow guest house adjacent to the house in which we live. We have been here since 20 years ago enjoying our 3 daughters, nature, my wife's organic vegetable garden, exotic flowers and fruits and the most incredible scenery you can imagine.
The apartment at the guest house is fully equipped to relax and enjoy your stay in the rain forest. The bedroom has a queen size bed that sleeps 2 plus a full futon which sleeps 1 more: In total it sleeps 3. 4 is too tight!
Unfortunately the apartment, the roof terrace and the surroundings are NOT child proof so, please, NO children under sixteen are allowed. It is ideal for a couple hideaway or for a small family adventure. It has a fully equipped kitchenette (separate from the bedroom), with a wooden dinning table to enjoy your meals, card games and conversations overlooking the vegetable garden, the mountains and the ocean. A fantastic private terrace above the apartment is ideal for BBQ's, watching spectacular sunsets, star gazing or as your own solarium. Our small, but wonderful family pool and spacious sun terrace is available for our guests.
There are many to do things such as sightseeing and adventures, some within walking distance and some at the most 45 minutes away. But one of the best is just dedicating one day to stay home and enjoy the rainforest and it's magic.

About the area
Canóvanas
Canóvanas is home to this apartment. While the natural beauty of El Yunque National Forest and Luquillo Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Wyndham Rio Mar Golf Course.
Carabali Rainforest Park and Carolina Children's Museum are also worth visiting. Take the opportunity to explore the area for outdoor excitement like hiking/biking trails.

About the host
Hosted by Esteban Sennyey
Magdalena and I are both architects and are both in love with nature. She obtained her Masters in Architecture at the University of Puerto Rico and I obtained my Masters at Cornell University. In 2001 we opened our private practice and I also teach at the University of Puerto Rico since 1988. As a full professor I have been appointed Associate Dean and Acting Dean as well as president of the Personnel Commitee. I teach an undregraduate architectural design studio as well as a professional practice course at the graduate level. My passion is drawing and sketching and taking my students to sketch in Old San Juan as well as organize travelling studios to Europe. My wife's passion is gardening and has an organic vegetable and spice garden. Our daughters are 27, 15 and 8. The eldest one lives in London developing her theater career, the middle sibling is in a specialized music school developing her voice (she is a soprano) and the youngest one is in gymnastics.
Our profession and our daughters keep us very busy during the week and during the weekends we love to stay home and work in the gardens and maintaining our property which is about an acre of land.
1n 1999 we built the guest house with the 2 purposes: One, to become a refuge in case of a very strong hurricane (since our home is made out of wood) and second, for our family to stay when they came to visit. We always had comments on why didn't we rent our guest house apartment to tourists since the place is so beautiful: the surrounding rainforest is magestic and our place is magical, quiet and so relaxing. Well after many years of attempts to convince us, we have decided to give-it a try: Rent to special people who want to stay and enjoy the wonders of the tropical rainforest and if they desire I can take them to a very special day tour to Old San Juan, or the Yunque National Forest trails or organize them a unforgettable sailing trip.
Come visit our place and enjoy and see Puerto Rico in a whole different way!
